Hi guys, thanks for this thread. I've been contemplating doing cider for a long time now and I can't believe I've only just stumbled across this section.
I live in central qld, so fresh apples are an impossibility, in fact I didn't even think I could get preservative free juice until the other day. It's 6 bucks for 2L, but that's still cheaper than some ciders.
So in summary, what does this plan seem like.
Buy 2x 2L bottles of apple juice.
Drop 3L into a large 3L bottle of sorts (Seems a waste of time putting it into the fermenter for only 3L?)
Drop in a sachet of yeast.
Put into the fridge at 15 degrees.
Wait for FG.
Bottle with Standard carbing sugars, 2 candy drops per bottle.
Wait.... Serve and top up with remaining Juice to lift the freshness up?
